Can I visit Canada as a tourist on valid Canadian Business Visitor visa

[meg23]

I have a Canadian multiple entry Visitor- Business visa (B-1 category) valid till 01/03/2018.

I have not traveled to Canada on a business trip till now, but I would like to now travel as a tourist to Banff National Park in Canada this July 2017.

Can I do so with my current Canadian Visitor- Business visa that I have OR would I need to apply for a separate Canadian tourist visa separately?

Please let me know.

Additional Information: I am an Indian citizen working and living in the United States.

Yes, you can visit Canada as a tourist with your current business visa

I know this is an old thread, but I'll shoot my shot anyways

Did you end up traveling to Canada with the business visa? How was your trip?
